Disappointed.

I bought this product last week and activated it a few days ago. So far it has not lived up to expectations. It doesn't count the steps properly. Sometimes it doesn't count them at all or plays catch up. Yesterday it was over 4,000 steps short versus my Fitbit. Today so far it is just under 800 steps short versus my Fitbit. My wife had a Garmin in the past and had issues with it and switched to a Fitbit. I thought I would give Garmin another try. A lot of money for something that can't accurately count steps. Done with Garmin.

Awsome smart watch

I really like this watch, especially the long battery life. The previous smart watch I had needed to be charged every day (about 32 hours actual battery life) so was not useful for sleep monitoring. The Vivoactive 6 has many more useful features than my old smart watch.

Upgraded

I bought this a few weeks ago and I really like it so far! It's so light, durable, and easy to use! I was having trouble with my Apple Watch so I decided to switch it up and so far I really like it! I am so glad the battery lasts so long, I don't really wear it when I sleep but I do have a habit of forgetting to charge it, so it's great! The only downside is I wish I could put pictures on the watch face, but it's not THAT big of a deal. I love the watch and I feel like it's tracking is pretty accurate 😊

Everything you need from a Smartwatch

I've had my Smartwatch for a little over two weeks. It's taken me a little longer to get used to all the apps that are loaded. Maybe it's taken a little longer for me because I'm a senior citizen, but what I can say I love this watch. Tracks me on my exercises at the gym. I play golf a couple of times a week. I loaded my watch with all the golf courses I play. Tracks my score, plus a load of other valuable items.

No Screen Reversal

I'm replacing my 10 yr old Vivoactive 3. It appears that there is no way to reverse the screen on the Vivoactive 6 so I can wear in on my left wrist. All the instructions say to go to the "Settings- Systems-Orientation", however there is no "Orentation" option on the Vivoactive 6. The only option I could find is to reverse the wrist bands.

Great features, nice looking watch

Nice looking watch, can wear when dressing up a bit or dressing down. Screen is bright and clear, and watch controls are fairly straightforward. Really like the watch. Lots of great information can be gleaned via the watch capabilities. Wish the battery time was a bit longer, but overall a great watch.

Better than the F....it

I just love my Garmin watch The vivoactive 6 is a very good reliable watch and let you know when to do intermittent exercises constantly updates with the app The only thing that I regret at that that's not let you input when you type a manual temperature other than that it's great.

New Vivoactive for runner girls

I've had a Garmin since I was 11 years old, this is my fourth one after my last one from 2022 shut down/died. I've always loved Garmin products, the Vivoactive is a nice sleek look with everything you could need, still getting used to some of the bells and whistles but so far I love it!

Love it but miss the floors climbed tracking

4.5 stars, technically. I've had Forerunner, Vivofit watches for the past 20 years and recently went with Vivoactive6 as my newest Garmin. Asthetically 10/10, personalization 10/10, data and metrics would be 10/10 but I found out that it doesn't have the ability to track stair flights climbed! So sad about this since it's always been one of the daily metrics/goals I have tracked. So, a 1/2 star ding. Otherwise it would be the absolute perfect fitness watch for me. I purchased the white band rose gold trim version. Off topic, still love the Garmin connect app!

Totally worth it!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love ❤️ my Garmin!!! The weight, the color, the fact that I do not have to pay anything additional (with my previous smartwatch I had to pay an extra line monthly)I bought it about one month ago and only question is, why I didn't buy it before?????😂😂
